Game keeps crashing since downloading Life and Death Expansion Pack

Ever since downloading the Life and Death Expansion Pack my game has been crashing for no reason. After around a minute of booting the game up it crashes if it is on a loading screen or the main menu and freezes if I actually get into the game. If I get into the game I can still hear the music and the sounds of the buttons clicking (such as like the fast forward button or the play button) but the play screen is frozen and I can't select the exit button. I thought it was because of maybe an update on release day but I just updated the game again and the crashing continues. I could play the game with the update just before Life and Death was released but ever since it has not worked. I have tried booting the game without Life and Death by setting the launch options to "-disablepacks:EP17" and it still did not work. I have also tried the deletion of typical problematic files in my "Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4" directory and that still did not work.

Is this something I can fix?
